- WHAT TO WEAR in a triathlon?! Clothing & gear necessities? For beginner triathletes - here are my (cheap and more expensive) essential race gear suggestions! ⬇️ GEAR LINKS BELOW ⬇️
I tried to include cheaper options for those looking to save as much money as possible (like I was at the beginning of my tri journey), as well as more expensive, but (more) beneficial options as well.
I'm sure I missed some things (this is was more of a detailed "intro" to race gear) so feel free to let us all know what are your gear must-haves and nice-to-haves in the comments below! I'll also probably do another video more focused on gear that I use during training/recovery 👍🏽
🔵 MUST HAVE GEAR 🔵
❇️ Tri Clothing for swim/bike/run (I'm not a Synergy affiliate/partner) ❇️
⬇️ I recommend picking either a tri top + tri shorts combo OR a trisuit
- Tri shorts: amzn.to/3t9oWsw (if you're trying to save money and could only buy 1 piece of tri clothing, get tri shorts and use one of your existing dri-fit/active shirts!)
- Tri top: amzn.to/3BZzYVa
- Trisuit: amzn.to/3IvkbQx
❇️ Swim ❇️
- Goggles: amzn.to/3pqL0xD
- Swim cap: should be provided by the race
❇️ Bike ❇️
- Helmet (not the exact one from my video, but this is similar with great reviews too): amzn.to/3JZNlri
- Cheap Beginner Road Bike (not the exact bike that I used in my first tri, but very similar): amzn.to/3U2RFxF
❇️ Run ❇️
- Shoes (my current favorite shoes): amzn.to/3srnVgj
- Socks (my current favorite socks): amzn.to/3VKnxZq
🔵 NICE-TO-HAVE GEAR 🔵
- Resistance Swim Belt (for training): amzn.to/3PywvlW
- Budget wetsuit: amzn.to/3Ue4Dcl
- Anti-chafe: amzn.to/3hspZya
- Anti-chafe (easier to apply & share): amzn.to/3IvmqmV
- Extra swim goggles: amzn.to/3pqL0xD
- Anti-fog (bad reviews on Amazon, but works well for me lol 🤷🏽♂️ ): amzn.to/3pr95Vg
- Flat kit (I get these from my local bike shop): bike multi-tool, spare inner tube, tire levers, CO2 cartridge & inflator head (i.e. amzn.to/3polGbK)
- Energy Gels: amzn.to/3t9Az2E
- Water bottle: amzn.to/3hr2DZU
- Sunglasses: amzn.to/340oXXh
- Hat/Visor: I use free hats/visors from previous races lol
- Sunscreen: amzn.to/3K2VCdX
- Race Belt: amzn.to/4aCZeAI
- Neck Gaiter: amzn.to/49mDCaW
- Bike pump: amzn.to/4aEB210
- HR Monitor: amzn.to/4anuKmA
- Watch (bare bones watch that I used in my first few tris): amzn.to/3vr8EOw
- Current watch (more recent model of my Garmin): amzn.to/3TInTNn
- No tie shoelaces, transition towel/mat, etc. etc., and the Nice-To-Have list goes on!!! I'll stop here now 😄

Such a great list Jeremy! I think people overlook the importance of some sort of anti-chafe product. People can bike on any time of bike but it must be in good working order so I typically tell people to take it by a bike shop and have them look it over. Thanks so much for making this one! I think it'll help a lot of people! 👏
Thanks so much for the kind words, Matt! Really means a lot 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 Gotta love the anti-chafe and that's a great tip too about having their bike looked over at a bike shop first 💯 My pleasure for making this one - I hope it does help others too! 😄

For the wetsuit, do you just wear it over the trisuit. Knowing you want more warmth.
Yes, you wear the wetsuit over the trisuit! The wetsuit will keep you warmer and more buoyant while swimming 🏊🏼♂
